College Expectations
You will need to complete 70% of your assessment per unit in order to pass (avoid voiding your grade)
You will need to attend 90% of your classes in order to pass (avoid voiding your grade)
If you miss school due to understandable reasons (e.g. sickness, mental health, family reasons etc..), have your parents contact your year coordinator to cover your absences
If you arrive after the first 5 minutes of class and do not hear the roll called, assume it has already been called and tell your teacher your arrival time so they can log this so that your parents do not receive an absence text.

In our unit, we will look at the foundational principles used to grab audiences attention and keep it, which is crucial for effective communication in product design and advertising. We will be creating physical and digital designs and using hands on experiences to help us understand design and apply it.

What is the design trying to convince the audience?
